Changes during a session do not establish that the program improves reading or other academic skills. Ask for evidence on the specific disability and the everyday outcome the program claims to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work with the school or evaluation team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask which targeted instruction, accommodations or supports address the identified need. If attention, stress or another concern also affects the child, bring it up with the appropriate clinician or school professional. Keep track of which support is meant to help which goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Agree on what progress looks like<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use a concrete measure, such as reading a passage more accurately or completing a particular type of assignment with less help.
